J D Jones

[Verse 1]
The fiddle played a two-step tune
Beneath a dusty dance hall moon
I stood there by the western bar
Just wishing on a lucky star
Then a tall man, six foot two,
Asked me for a dance or two

[Chorus]
Fifty-seven years, Babe, hand in hand
Through every storm we learned to stand
With faith to hold and grace to lean
You're still my peace, my eyes of green
J.D. Jones, you're my home
With you I've never walked alone

[Verse 2]
You held me close on our river cruise
The water shining silver blues
You took my two boys as your own
And raised them up till they were grown
We built a family, built a life
I've been so proud to be your wife

[Chorus]
Fifty-seven years, Babe, hand in hand
Through every storm we learned to stand
With faith to hold and grace to lean
You're still my peace, my eyes of green
J.D. Jones, you're my home
With you I've never walked alone

[Bridge]
When the dark came knocking twice
You fought it hard and paid the price
We prayed together on our knees
And God gave us His perfect peace

[Verse 3]
The girl I gave away at birth
Came home, the sweetest gift on earth
At sixty, you gave her your name
And loved all three of them the same
So take my hand, let's dance once more
Like that first night on the wooden floor

[Chorus]
Fifty-seven years, Babe, hand in hand
Through every storm we learned to stand
With faith to hold and grace to lean
You're still my peace, my eyes of green
J.D. Jones, you're my home
With you I'll never walk alone

[Outro]
The music's soft, the lights are low
Still dancing, Babe, and never letting go
J.D., I'm yours, you're mine
Till the end of time
